Special Issue: State-of-the-Art in European Manufacturing Research

Abstract

Albert Shih, Editor-in-ChiefAlbert Shih, Editor-in-ChiefThe objective of this Special Issue is to connect the ASME Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering (JMSE) and European manufacturing researchers through a collection of articles on high-level scientific work in manufacturing. It provides an opportunity for European researchers to present their state-of-the-art research results in manufacturing. In addition to the scientific aspect, the aim of this Special Issue is to bring together two of the world’s leading scientific communities. Indeed, although JMSE is an American journal, the European community needs to be shown in this historical and prestigious journal, and this rapprochement is one of the motivations behind this Special Issue. This Special Issue is also a good way of exchanging ideas between researchers in Europe and around the world.
